At the next FP meetup everyone should play stealth games.
I used to play this aweosme game with my father, where he would take a flashlight and me and my brother would hide in the yard (We had like, a fucking forest for a yard) at night. I remember one night i was in a tree for 1/2 an hour before a twig snapping (I had my foot on it) gave me away.
[QUOTE=iFail;31721368]sounds fun as fuck ever use flashlights? you can do all kinds of cool shit[/QUOTE] The game started with the red flashlights that come with some Nerf Guns. That way visibility was increased a little, yet colors were still hard to make out and it wasn't that much light. We eventually all got a lot better at this game, and could probably be a SWAT team with how thorough and tactical we are, and so the flashlights are out. If you do do flashlights, make them red and just one or two. The first time we ever played, the greenman was between a mattress and a wall, and I couldn't tell if it was him or a blanket, so I poked him with the gun (I had and extended barrel(and im not a pussy) so that was my designated job) a few times and still could not tell. My partner told me it was nothing and left the room, since we had already cleared all the closets and under the bed and shit. Needless to say I got raped. Partner comes back and is freaked the fuck out with me on the floor. Sometimes we play a different variation where everyone is a greenmen (except we only have one green suit) except two people with guns. A house full of monsters is also very scary, but I prefer classic mode. My friends disagree though. To play though you have to be willing to let your house get fucked up. We flip over couches, knock over tables, and set traps and stuff. A good greenman also is a master of fear, and will make it so that things may suddenly move when interacted with. Like a Swiffer Mop on top of a door. One time the greenman took out a nerf guy by throwing a mattress down a flight of stairs. Multi-floor houses work much better
This is what I need in my life.

i should see if i can do this except my house isn't very scary no wooden floorboards so no creepy creaks

I remember one time i was at my friends house with a few others, and he were having this small little airsoft war (we had nothing else to do.) We had 2 teams that switched sides, One in the garage, defending... with the other that goes out on the streets and tries to sneak/attack. I was on the attacking team, and my friend went somewhere, while i hung back and when through a few of the neighbor's yards. I had a dark sweatshirt on, and i crawled in the recently rained on grass, and layed there on my stomach while i tried to pick off the other team. Of course, we had shit little spring powered airsoft guns, and of course you couldnt hit shit. But after that round was over, i asked if anyone knew where i was, and they said that they had no idea. Hellz Yeah. :dance:

Walking only on your heels is also pretty silent.
Ok some pro stealth tips n shit right here: When you sneak downstairs at night put your socks on, will lower the sound of your squishy footsteps by 50-80 percent. Edit: so unlike popularly suggested "sneaking on your toes" you have to sneak with your socks on.
You people surely have a lot of stairs in your houses. :v:

Pro tip: Hardly anyone ever looks up. If you can find a way to hide above a doorway, you will be not be seen by anyone coming out of it until it is too late!
I love stealth, I ALWAYS opt for the stealth class if i'm playing an RPG, especially assassins.
Ok first off, when landing, never bend your knees at or more then 90 degrees or you will fuck your knees up. Secondly, movement speed should depend on the environment and should not always be slow. Teachers catch most cheaters because they TRY to be stealthy by being slow and cautious, and this slow movement stands out from the randomized movement of the class. The key to stealth is to trick the brain into thinking that everything is normal, not avoiding detection. Think less of moving the element through others like a ghost and more of blending it. Next time youre in class and not in direct line sight of the teacher try just simply passing papers at a casual speed. If you keep up with the relaxed flow of the room you will not stand out (obviously if not in direct line sight, but doing this has a higher chance then moving slowly and breaking up the flow). Another example of moving fast is in an industrial area. Areas with moving parts will create both noise and obviously movement. Moving slow will alert the person that this is not a machine but something living with an intent, so you must move fast to get around corners. If a person sees you they will only see a blur and coupled with the machines they will believe it was in their head, if not they will walk (they never run) to the corner and by then you will be gone. Finally you must take advantage of what I call "T-rexing". Much like a t-rex, humans will react to anything that moves out of the element of flow subconsciously. An example of this is when you obviously leave to go to the bathroom in class but when you come back everyone looks up at you the moment the door opens. This reaction cannot be controlled unless you are actively thinking about it or expecting it. This reaction is an extremely useful tool as the most mundane things will activate it. Another example, would be a car passing by on a street, especially if the person can see the headlights. The person knows it is a street and there are going to be cars, but their head cant help but snap up for even if just a split second to look. These times are crucial because in some areas no movement at all is the natural flow and they can provide a quick distraction to make a risky move from one roof to another or to open a door. A few seconds can be the difference between failure and success. Also on the subject of posture, it is again dependent on the situation. The most important thing to take into account though is how fit you are and your lungs. Having a cramped up posture may limit exposure of yourself, but youre also squishing your lungs making your breathing more labored and thus louder. Same thing when running, if you are unfit you will breathe heavily and attract attention. You must stay relaxed to keep your breathing normal, as breathing heavily also causes pretty heavy movement on the torso. I am hungry so I am cutting this off, might post more.

I need to try this with a bunch of friends sometime.
I wish I could get myself to do this stuff, it sounds really fun :3 I actually did it with a friend once, we crawled up on the roof of a school and sneaked around at night. There were some peeps sitting at some benches, we really just tried to find out if we knew any of them and what they were talking about. Normal bored youngster shenanigans. The thing I wanted to point out is that it probably pays off to learn about the eye's ability to get used to light differences. Because me and my friend ended up feeling pretty stupid when the guys left and we went down there. Basically, we were sneaking around in the darkness on the roof, staying low and being as quiet as possible. When we went down there in the lit space with the bench, we realized that we could have danced back and forth without giving a shit, because there was simply no way to see [i]anything[/i] in the darkness.

I've been training since last night.
Thanks for the ninja mask tutorial!
Any tips for going down stairs? I tend to make a lot of noise even without the creaking.
If you've got a creaky staircase, you can't really go down it quietly. I've tried a couple ways to go down mine quieter, but nothing's helpful. Going down it slowly can help, but it'll take a lot longer and you'll have loud groans instead of quick squeaks. :(
Well when walking on wooden/laminate floors, Wear socks of course to avoid your feet sticking to the ground and making noise when you pull up your foot. Also you kind of have to throw your weight around for maximum stealth... looks very stupid but its very effective. kind of like pumping out your chest while moving your arms as if you're running, but I don't exactly know how to explain it...
[QUOTE=Darkebrz;31720101]I can't stealth because my left ankle pops each time I take a step.[/QUOTE] Really? The exact same thing happens to me in my left ankle, except it only really happens when I go upstairs or something steep. It's really odd.
I would love to play some badass stealth games, but all my friends are girls, literally. My guy friends are never up to anything fun like this, and just want to play video games.
